Wicked Radio 9-18: Who Cancelled Kimmel? We Did. Watch Which Politicians Freak Out · Wicked Radio with Bill Adams

• 0:05
  Speaker 1: Remember, is just yesterday you and I had a little
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: chat on here and we started talking about how ridiculous
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: it was that a late night quote unquote comedian could
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: go on the air and just tell a flat out
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: lie three days, three days after it was already debunked
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: about of course, the aftermath of the Charlie Kirk story.
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: And that's where this really is now is the aftermath
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: and who covers it, who freaks out about it? Well,
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: as you well know by now, because it's the biggest
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: story in the country. The times they are a change in.
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: So here's what to watch out for today in the
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: aftermath that the Kimmel cancel it if that's what you
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: want to call it. It's not really a cancel, but
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: fits in a headline, so that's what we can call it.
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: You're gonna watch out for the politicians freaking out about it,
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: because this tells you. This is beautiful. This tells you
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: everything you need to know, everything you ever suspected about.
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: Who's actually running the copy points, the talking points for comedians,
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: newscasters and influencers and everybody on that side. Who's actually
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: directing them and in many cases maybe paying them. I
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: don't know. I don't think that was the Kimmel case,
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: but who the heck knows. It tells you everything you
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: need to know. And the second thing is for the
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: less informed people in your life, and I know there's
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: a lot of them. There's a lot of those in
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: mind too. When they try to say, oh, what happened
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: to free speech, it's a big correction here. That's not
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: what this is about. Jimmy Kimmel and everybody else who
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: had disgusting, inaccurate, awful things to say in the aftermath
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: of the Charlie Kirk story. They had free speech. Everybody
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: that went online and lost their jobs, teachers, healthcare professionals, nurses, whatever,
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: anybody did. Oh, they had free speech because they already
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: said it. But the people who got rid of them,
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: including ABC, they have a right to put some consequences
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: in place. And that's what we're getting too. So thanks
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: for being here, appreciated so much. If it's noisy, I apologize,
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: But the Atlantic Ocean is right behind me. Do anything
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: about that on the boat and hopefully the Internet connection
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: and the other of them is with me. But thanks
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: for hanging out with me all week long, and all
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: you new followers too. I love you. I appreciate you
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: how your podcast listeners wherever you look for Wicked Radio,
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: any platform you can find it, put subs on, notifications on.
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: Then it's on a replant all this stuff. You know
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: how it works. Let's get right to it. Little background,
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: just as a refresher, because you know the story right now.
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: You heard about Kimmel. Maybe you don't know all the details.
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: This is the same clip we had yesterday and again
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: a reminder on how this came to be his Monday
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: Night show. And that's important to the timeline. I think
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: the Monday Night show. That means he himself, his writers,
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: the producer, the directors of the Kimmel Show on ABC,
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: also network executives. They had all this time, they head
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: down until Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday the real production meetings,
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: all to figure out how they're going to present this
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: and again relevant to the story in the timeline. By
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: the time they went on air, by the time Jimmy
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: Kimmel Live happened Monday night and got him into all
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: this trouble, it had already been debunked. Exactly what they said,
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: what did he say? A refresher here for you, but
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: what he said was that, and he called him the Megagang.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: If you remember, they're trying to politicize this and take
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: advantage of it and try to distract people from the
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: fact that the shooter was one of theirs. This had
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: already been debunked by the FBI, the Utah officials, and
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: this disgusting, murderous assassin's family had already debunked. This didn't matter.
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: He went on the air Monday night anyway anyway and
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: said it. And keep in mind how many steps they
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: had to go through to actually decide that this was
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: the right approach to take. Feel not sorry at all
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: for this guy. But here's a refresher in exactly.
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: How it all went over the weekend, with the Magagang
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: as anything other than one of them and do everything
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: they can to score political points from the finger pointing
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: there was grieving on Friday, the White House flew the.
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: Flat anything but one of them a debunked lie. Everybody
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: had already figured it out. Everybody had and by the way,
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: on Monday, you had already had the news story also
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: come out about the textic changes between the shooter and
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: his alleged trans leve or whatever. The entire world had
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: already known this except for except for, and this is
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: relevant too, the less informed folks in our society. You
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: know what I'm talking about. I've got them, You've got them.
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: Everybody does. They were still believing this. Maybe they rolled
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: into work on Monday or Tuesday or yesterday or today,
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: and it'll still say, now, he was a he was
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: a Trump supporter that killed Charlie Kirk. So that's who Kimmel,
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: other late night people, the politicians, CNN, MSN, that's who
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: they try to reach the bottom of the barrel. Folks
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: that really have no understand the least informed of us,
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: and the most easily influenced. That's why they still did
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: that kind of stuff. Right. So here's the first argument
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: that pops up. I thought you guys were in favor
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: of free speech. Well, yeah, anybody, it's an America. It's
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: a basic tenet of what it means to be an American.
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: Of course we are. Well, that's not free speech to
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: get Jimmy Kimmel fired. Hold on, and let's attach Jimmy
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: Kimmel to everybody else that's lost their jobs. In the
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: wake of this, you're forgetting about the consequence part of it,
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: And the answer is right before you. You're saying they
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: didn't have free speech. You're saying Jimmy Kimmel didn't have
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: free speech to say what he said inaccurately. He knew,
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: by the way, this was a complete lie. He knew it.
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: Of course, he knew it. Every one of those writers
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: and producers of that show, the ABC executives at the time,
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: knew it. You know what, they didn't know. You know,
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: this is why I say we did this. You know what.
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: They didn't know truly and still didn't get it, but
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: they think they did now. The pushback is real, the
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: times they are a change in my friends. Nobody puts
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: up with this anymore. This isn't just about disagreeing with
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: and trying to push back against somebody you don't agree with.
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: That's what they did. That's what they did to Charlie Kirk.
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: This is about not allowing an output, a media output
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: that has a FCC license, that has a requirement, even
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: if it's a comedy show, to be in the public interest.
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: They do, and I'll get to the FCC thing or
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: in a second. This is about saying you can't go
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: on the air and push a deliberate lie, which is
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: what they did, and they knew it was a lie.
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: But they always have the background. But on the median,
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: I can say whatever I want that you know, that's
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: always the shield that they put up. Right, No, you don't,
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: because you allowed and think about the timing of this,
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: what he did, what he did Monday night. Even more
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: so than the idiots that went on Instagram and TikTok
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: and said horrible things and lost their jobs, you know,
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: big whatever, they had free speech too because they said it.
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: They were free to do it well for free speech,
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: and a lot of these folks are finally realizing for
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: the first time comes a lot of consequence. So your employer,
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: whoever's in charge of you, your boss, your organization, whatever
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: it is, they have a speech to say, I don't
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: want you representing my brand. And that's exactly what happened
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: here because of the pushback. All right, now, the pushback,
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: here's the FCC part of it. I'll give you a
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: little bit of background. And I realize, I know I'm
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: from a radio background. I know it's different. It's not
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: exactly a late in my TV show. I understand that
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: this little podcast here isn't that as well. Totally understand that,
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: believe me. But the same rules apply. If you don't
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: think through, Oh god, I'll go back. I'll go back decades,
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: nine to eleven elections, especially during COVID. If you don't
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: think I was told as a broadcaster, we all were. Anybody, radio, TV, anything,
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: we're told that you have a public responsibility. If you
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: think I was censored by my organization during COVID too,
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: I was told directly not to post certain things on
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: my personal account, not to say certain things, because it's
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: not in the public interest, not to question certain things.
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: Just trust the experts. That's what we were all told.
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: You don't think we've Anybody that's been in an FCC
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: licensed organization is told the exact same thing. The difference
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: being with ABC and all the late night so called
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: comedians and these broadcasters. They never thought they would face
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: the pushback that they've faced so long now. I don't
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: know the speaking of the pushback. I don't know how
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: many thousands, and maybe it's tens of thousands of emails
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: or calls or direct messages. I don't know that the
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: Federal Communications commission got after the Kimmel thing. But it's
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: massive because I don't care who they are. I don't
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: care that this guy was appointed by Trump or not.
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: They don't make a move like this, and they don't
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: put public pressure on a broadcaster unless they know they
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: have the public support behind it. You know. But you're
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: just regular people, and that's the part that's changed. Regular
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: people are not putting up with this anymore. They'll come
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: out with it someday, they're not saying yet. The new
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: SCC commissioner is Brendan Carr. Did a couple of interviews.
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: He did one this morning and then he went on
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: with Benny Johnson the day before. I guess this was
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: on yesterday talking about the very same issue. They don't
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: make this kind of a move unless they know they
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: have the public support behind them. Here's the first thing.
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: This is when he was first talking about it on
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: Benny Johnson, who's a great podcaster, He's awesome. Benny talked
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: to this FCC commissioner and he asked him about the
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: possibility of that. He said, listen, this isn't just a
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: stupid joke. He mean, he misled a giant portion of
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: the population and think about it too, during a time
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: when most people were still very upset about this. A
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: lot of people are still upset about this. You needed
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: some comedy, you needed something away, You needed something in
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: late night or entertainment to take your mind off this thing.
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: Kimmel ABC. They decided to put more propaganda on it
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: with a lie that was already disproven. Anyway, when Bennie
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: Johnson talked to Ben two but Brendan Carr before all
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: this happened, here's what he's send ut.
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: That has taken place by Jimmy Kimmel. It appears to
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: be some of the sickest conduct possible. As you've indicated,
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: there are, you know, avenues here for the FCC. So
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: there are some ways in which I need to be
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: a little bit careful because we could be called ultimately
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: to be a judge on some of these claims that
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: come up.
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: But I don't think okay. So that was before Kimmel
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: really got d kimmeled by ABC. But this morning he
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: also did a lot of interviews to try to explain
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: himself as he should. I mean, he went on Fox.
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: So they're going to be friendly to it. But the
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: FCC commissioner in this deal has a responsibility as well
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: to talk about that, try to explain it, what their
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: role was, what their role wasn't the first lie you're
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: going to hear today is that the FCC, being, you know,
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: an arm of the Trump administration, got Kimmel fired. It's
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: not the case. This was more from his employer and
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: the affiliate it's than anybody else. But after Kimmel got canceled,
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: here's a Brending car said on.
• 11:05
  Speaker 4: Fox broadcasters are different than any other form of communication,
• 11:08
  Speaker 4: including here, we're on cable right now. Fox News doesn't
• 11:11
  Speaker 4: have an SEC license, CNN doesn't, but ABC, CBS, NBC
• 11:15
  Speaker 4: those broadcast stations do, and with that license comes a
• 11:19
  Speaker 4: unique obligation to operate in the public interest. And over
• 11:23
  Speaker 4: the years, the FCC walked away from enforcing that public
• 11:27
  Speaker 4: interest obligation.
• 11:28
  Speaker 5: I don't think we're better off as a country for it.
• 11:30
  Speaker 5: But look, President Trump ran directly at these legacy broadcast outlets,
• 11:36
  Speaker 5: and he exposed them to these market forces, and a
• 11:41
  Speaker 5: lot of these affiliate groups said, to your point, we're
• 11:43
  Speaker 5: tired of carrying this stuff late night shows. Something's called
• 11:46
  Speaker 5: seriously awry.
• 11:46
  Speaker 4: Here they went from going.
• 11:48
  Speaker 5: For applause from laugh lines to applause lines. They went
• 11:51
  Speaker 5: from being.
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: And that's their choice. That's their choice to do it.
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: But here's the thing that he said that for years,
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: for decades, they ignored it can get away with anything.
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: They could do anything. Now if smaller affiliates, if smaller shows,
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: if radio folks still tried to get away with this
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: and a known flat out lie and just spread disinformation
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: out there, you don't think they're getting pushed back. Well,
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: the big guys are now too. And that's the difference.
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: You're gott to hear people telling you today that that
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: FCC commissioner got him canceled, and it's not the case.
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: Here's the background of what really happened. So Kimmel Show
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: was carried. But the way it works in TV, and
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: you probably know this already, but I'll just you know,
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: say any way to tell the story. So there's a
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: bunch of broadcast owners that own a bunch of TV
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: stations and they all become affiliates, like you try to
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: be an ABC affiliate, CBS affiliate, Fox, whatever it is.
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: So the broadcast company, so next Star is one of
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: the broadcasters that own a bunch of TV stations. That
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: was the the You know, they had an affiliate. They
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: carried the Kimmel Show. They have a bunch of them.
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: They were the first War Next Star. They were horrified
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: about what Jimmy Kimmel did and saying this and pushing
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: this lie out there about this shooter and making matters
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: way worse. That's none in the public interest. So they
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: said they're not going to carry it anymore. Again. Remember
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: they only make a move like that as a private
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: broadcaster because they know that they have the support of
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: their audience behind them. Can you imagine how many calls
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: they got at the individual stations, how many emails they got.
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: All Right, here's the other end of this thing. Sint
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: Clair broadcasting another affiliate on their stations. Here's what they get.
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: So they did the same thing, just a little bit
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: smaller than Next Star, but they got the ball roll
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: in two. So get this, Saint Clair on their stations
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: on Friday night in Kimmel's time slot where normally Jimmy
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: Kimmelivewouold Air, sint Clair stations are going to air a
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: Charlie Kirk dedication memorial show. That's what I mean by
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: the times are a change in again. It bears repeating.
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: This stuff only happens when they have the public support
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: behind them. We got Kimmel canceled, wasn't the FCC eventually
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: wasn't these and the broadcasters only did it because they
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: had the public report. Nobody is putting up with this anymore.
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: And I will tell you, and let's be adults in
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: the room now. If twenty years, ten years, I don't know,
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: down the road and this changes and it's they always
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: say the other side and it just happens to be
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: Republican based late night comedians, I don't see that happening.
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: But if it ever did, and they were pushing a
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: certain propaganda line and they were, you know, pushing known
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: lies on this, I'd want the exact same thing to
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: happen too. It's not their place. They do have to
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: act in the public interest. And they left around and
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: they found out that there's your answer to that so far.
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: And when you hear that today, when people telling you, well,
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: you're not against you're not for free speech, now, are you?
• 14:41
  Speaker 6: Oh?
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: We still are? I still am. Obviously I still am,
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: but I'm also for the consequences. The difference being now
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: we speak up normal people. I always call it the
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: ninety percent right in the middle. We just want to
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: live our lives and work hard and raise our kids
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: and enjoy America and our freedom and paid preotic. Enough
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: of this crap when we used to look the other way.
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: Now here's the other thing. The media freakout is obvious.
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: But the answer to everything we've always suspected for years
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: and years and years, and I know you have to
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: about what happened. Brendan Carr, the FCC Commissioner, alluded to
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: it right there in that clip this morning. Are these
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: late night comedy shows have really flipped a switch. They've
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: gone from just you know, joking and taking shots at everybody. Yeah, sure,
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: current events and political jokes. Sure, but they took shots
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: at everybody all of a sudden it turned where they
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: were just propaganda sites for one side. Yeah, that happened
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: about fifteen years ago. Is when that switch happened. Everything
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: you already already suspected about who's writing their copy points,
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: who's supporting them, who's who's funding it got confirmed in
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: this story. It's infuriating, but it's also exhilarating in the
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: same time at the same time because its answers every
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: question you ever knew about this MSNBC. I won't play
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: this for you, but MSNBC they freaking out over this
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: because they think it's going to affect them too. They
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: know they're lying too. They understand that CNN freaking out
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: this morning. You know who else is freaking out? And
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: I hate to do this to you this early in
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: the morning, Chucky Schumer is freaking out. Watch for the
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: politicians that are the most upset about this. It's not
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: because of what they're saying. It's not because it's a
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: First Amendment issue or a censorship issue or free speech.
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: That's not what it's about. Here's why they're freaking out,
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: the politicians because they're losing another one of their echo
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: chambers of their talking, of their talk boxes. Chucky Schumer,
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: hate to do this to you, but here you go to.
• 16:48
  Speaker 6: It is outrageous. It's a page right out of She's playbook.
• 16:53
  Speaker 6: This is just despicable, disgusting and against democratic values. Trump
• 16:58
  Speaker 6: and his allies seem to want to shut down speech
• 17:01
  Speaker 6: that they don't like to hear. That is not what demok.
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: Right out of She's playbook. Remember about these politicians, just
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: like Chuckie Schumer, Everything they say is actually what they're doing.
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: That's what's happening here, right, He's freaking out the most,
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: which tells you one big answer. He was most likely
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: the one giving the talking points and the propaganda lines
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: and the direct orders to these soul called late night
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: comedians and news broadcast outlets that were pushing this stuff
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: for years. Here's your answer. The politicians that are freaking
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: out the most are the ones that were most involved
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: with the propaganda for late night comedians. I love it.
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: Oh and by the way, Chucky Schumer never said a
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: damn thing when other comedians got canceled. Can I just
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: remind you of one thing? And this might really help
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: when you're faced with somebody in your life today, maybe
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: even a boss that's less informed than you and wants
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: to tell you that this is a this is an atrocity.
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: It's right out of she's playbook. As Chuckie Schumer said,
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: here's a great here's a great reminder. Just throw this
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: one at him. Oh well, remember Roseanne Barr in twenty eighteen.
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: She had the number one comedy show ironically on ABC
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: at the time in the country. You know why she
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: got fired. You know why she got canceled, And that
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: really wasn't canceling. You know why because in her personal life,
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: on her personal at the time Twitter page, she dared
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: to make fun of and mock in a pretty mean
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: kind of way, but still an ex OBAMA associate, Valerie Jared,
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: you canceled Roseanne. And by the way, Roseanne had something
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: to say about this too, to all the people saying
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: this is yes, this is an assault on free speech,
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: and this is Roseanne can say it better than anybody could. Yeah,
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: imagine administration putting pressure on a TV channel to fire
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: a comedian they didn't like game set match. So here's
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: the takeaway. The times they are a change in all right,
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: don't let them tell you. Don't let anybody tell you,
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: especially these crooked politicians that Trump got them fired a
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: lot of pressure or the FCC commissioner got them fired,
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: or anybody, or they were canceled. No, they did, or
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: they didn't have free speech. Oh they had free speech.
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: You know that by the fact that they were able
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: to say supplies to anybody. But it wasn't a lack
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: of free speech that got Jimmy Kibble fired. It was
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: a consequence. We never used to have those consequences. What changed.
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: Let me look out on the Atlantic Ocean and ponder
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: on that for a second. Let me have a deep
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: thought moment. What changed and led to this? Ah, it
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: just came to me. You changed. We've had enough people
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: pushed back now and that's a beautiful thing, all right. Man,
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: a one topic show, but it involved a lot of
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: different things. Tomorrow's Friday, try to spot try. I'll try
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: to sit right here in this spot tomorrow and do
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: the podcast and the live stream in the meantime on
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: as a replay on x and on YouTube and on Facebook.
• 20:14

• 20:24
  Speaker 1: is freezing. It's why it's stumbling over words. So I
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: will talk to you tomorrow, probably from the ocean again
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: or at some point, because it's gonna be a lot
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: to talk about. I have a feeling. I'm not sure
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: so far, but I have a feeling tomorrow we're gonna
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: be talking about a lot of teachers my home state,
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: back in the day of Massachusetts. It may be doomed,
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: they may be Unlike all the other states in the
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: nation which are pushing back on these teachers bringing their
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: politics into the classroom, Massachusetts just doubled down and protected
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: their teachers from doing that. Boy or whatever happened else
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: happens in the news, and we'll lighten it up too,
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: because it's been like a full week again of tough news.
